Slitting Saw Materials
HSS Slitting Saw
HSS provides good toughness and cost efficiency for general machining of carbon steel, alloy steel, aluminum, copper and brass.
HSS-Co / M35 / M42 Slitting Saw
HSS-Co grades such as M35 and M42 provide higher heat and wear resistance for stainless steel, alloy steel, tool steel and other demanding machining applications.
Solid Carbide Slitting Saw
Solid carbide provides high rigidity, hardness and wear resistance for precision and high-speed machining applications.
Solid carbide slitting saws are suitable for applications involving steel, stainless steel, cast iron, titanium, aluminum and other non-ferrous metals, depending on the workpiece and cutting conditions.

FAQ
What is the difference between HSS and solid carbide slitting saws?
HSS provides good toughness and cost efficiency, while solid carbide offers higher rigidity, hardness and wear resistance for demanding precision machining applications.
What is a solid carbide saw cutter?
Solid carbide saw cutter is a broader term that can refer to carbide cutting tools with different saw-type or milling-cutter configurations. A solid carbide slitting saw is a specific type designed as a thin circular cutter for slotting, grooving, parting and narrow-width cutting.
Which slitting saw is suitable for stainless steel?
HSS-Co (M35/M42) and solid carbide are common choices. The appropriate tool depends on the stainless steel grade, cutter dimensions, tooth geometry and cutting conditions.
Can you manufacture custom slitting saws?
Yes. Diameter, thickness, bore, tooth geometry, coating and mounting features can be customized according to drawings, samples or application requirements.
Can you provide OEM and private-label slitting saws?
Yes. OEM laser marking and private-label packaging are available.
What is the lead time for custom slitting saws?
Solid Carbide Products: Typical lead time is approximately 2–4 weeks.
HSS Products: Typical lead time is approximately 4 weeks, as the material requires heat treatment, resulting in a longer production lead time.
